B Six Tone Symmetric in Standard — Notes and Intervals

The B Six Tone Symmetric scale is a mathematical abstraction that divides the octave into six equal parts. On Charango, its notes are B, C, D#, E, G, G#. It lacks a tonic or a home note, making it perfect for modern composers who want to avoid traditional keys and explore total tonal suspension. Commonly used in Contemporary Classical, Experimental, Avant-Garde. Notable players include Bela Bartok, Olivier Messiaen. Use for atonal or polytonal composition. Not chord-specific — this is a tool for breaking free of traditional harmony.
